It's Okay, That's Love (2014)

Absolutely loved it!

This is going to be a short review but one word that may encourage you to watch this drama is 'mind-blowing'.

At first i wasn't even sure if i was going to like it even if it got great reviews from others but now i can totally relate to the other viewers as well. The way the drama deals with mental issues is great. This makes me realize that even if someone looks normal on the outside, it doesn't mean that s/he is normal inside as well. Some people don't even know what are mental illness and they are mostly called a 'name' for having those issues. Those suffering from it even get depressed as people can't understand them or they are pushed to a corner.
So this drama is a way to make us realize that.

So far the best drama I've ever watched. From the beginning to the end it never failed to make me laugh and even though I didn't cry, it was very heart wrenching. Everything was going so good and sweet till the main character crashed. Learned a lot about mental health. Its always okay to take a step back and take a deep breath no matter how tough life gets.

The plotline was perfect. None of the characters were overshadowed one another. Every one had their part to bring awareness. Even during the sad and depressing parts, the music uplifted me. Like a sudden burst light shining through. The OST was perfect, actors were perfect, and the ending was perfect too.

I'm here right after watching the last episode and my heart strangely feels full and content. There's a huge smile on my face as I'm typing this. Safe to say this drama did made an impact to me. The message that they were trying to convey through this drama was very clear.

Would rewatch it again and would recommend it to those who are having hard time coping life. Remember to always reach out for help when you're struggling and you'll realise that you are not alone.

I think the drama has a potential to be more amazing as it tackles mature and serious issues like mental illness which is big taboo in reserved societies like Korea. I appreciate the realistic elements as it deals with this subject without being patronizing and the drama discussing mental problems with a very gentle and delicate hand. However, what I find issue with is that almost EVERYBODY in the damn show has a mental health problem.

I get it that it's about psychologists and their patients, but how unlucky can one be, having a schizophrenic BF, an non-functional father, and the female lead herself battling issues with intimacy on her own. As if not to be outdone by his GF's miserable life, the Male lead suffers from a serious mental illness brought on by his abusive upbringing and violent past, which affected also his mother who suffers from disassociation and his brother with anger issues. Then after all the miserable stories we hear, everyone seems to be all miraculously happy in the end with their respective partners. Jo In Sung is a very good actor, however, his aegyo moments are cringeworthy. He cannot do cheese.

Laugh & cry about mental health struggles in relationships

Starts off a little weird/awkward rom-com-ish, looking at the psychosexual hang-ups of a psychologist who house-shares with another psychologist and a guy with Asperger’s syndrome. The house’s owner—an arrogant author—moves in, and the female lead clashes with him before they fall hard for each other.

After that, the plot takes a turn, developing into a fairly deep exploration of how we deal with—or don’t deal with—mental health, as well as how mental disorders (schizophrenia in particular) affect our relationships and the choices we make around them. The direction shift from “weird rom-com” to “serious, heart-wrenching drama” surprised me, but I laughed and openly cried at this one.

Ive always put this drama off and now I'm wondering why I did that

I was in the mood for watching something with gong hyo jin bc her acting is just top notch. she really makes it seem that she's in love and the chemistry with her partners are amazing. I've always heard that Jo in sung is an AMAZING actor but ive never really seen his work before until now and I wholeheartedly agree. he is amazing.

the storyline itself is amazing with not a single episode that gets you bored. its keeps you on your seats with little to no filler episodes. AND AND I am IN LOVE with the dynamic of all the relationships in this show. the beautiful friendship of the household was literally the cherry on top of the amazing storyline and acting.

it is also a unique take on one of the many types of plot that involve mental disorders and I'm loving how each (kill me heal me, its okay not to be okay, etc) drama has a different perspective.

every scene just pulls you deeper into the charm of each character. they also had a really realistic take on mental illnesses instead of just using love as the "cure for all issues" type of solution <3

I read all the reviews on this show, I anticipated it and I usually have a hard time watching shows older than 2 years for some odd reason but I kept reading and reading and being someone that deals with mental health problems and all that jazz going on as well, I really wanted to watch this show and see what everything was about and honestly, it was all worth it. All day, honestly. This show appeals the different mindsets and life that every person shows honestly. You have bi-polar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, Schiz. It's honestly a wild ride, but such a pure mindset and great way to show it to the world that there is so many people in this world that deals with these problems along with yourself honestly. I liked the bond that the boys had with the female lead and the two main leads were just plain cute. They both were dealing with internal enemies themselves but the chemistry between the two was easily one of the best things I had witnessed for sure. There was a lot going on but all in all, this show is truly a gem.

Weird romantic drama. Not bad to watch.

Why I write weird?
This drama is alot about psychiatrists and their pacients. Main female lead is such doctor with her own mind problems.
Male lead is sucesfull and handsome writer which goes into her life.
Differences between lead they wanted to show is female is type which tried plan her life.
Male is more about feelings and its his way to get into her life and start romance.

They live together with few extras. Drama is mostly about their love life or mind problems. Not very serious alot of time more into lighter note at other hand this drama got no very funny nor cute feel.

Aint worst drama around. Worth looking into if you got no peak dramas to look for. Since this one at least wont make you feel bad or sad for time you watched it.

If you decide to watch this drama, get ready to cry.

Usually, I stay away from dramas involving mental health because I am a very emotional person and I take dramas very seriously. This drama was so deep and amazing that I could not stop watching it. I replayed so many key scenes that SHOOK me. I also ended up learning so much from this drama. I have always taken mental health very seriously and I think that this drama effectively depicts it. The acting was so realistic that I felt personal connections to the characters.

Story: 10/10. I have no words.
Cast: 10/10. Kyungsoo is not only an amazing performer, but his acting is phenomenal.
Overall: 9.5. AMAZING. I do not regret watching this drama and sticking with it until the end.
